In my mind, it's the Straight of Vermouth.

Flora—the screen recorder I started building yesterday—now has a proper release. Chrome extension. Record your screen, upload to your Blossom server, publish a note with NIP-07. Pick your own servers and relays. Very early. Lots to do. Grab the zip from releases and load it as an unpacked extension—no build tools needed.

In 1960, shipping a truckload of medicine from Chicago to an interior city in Europe cost $2,400—about $25,000 today. Half of that was spent covering ten miles on each end. Eight days to load. Eight days to unload. A dozen vendors touching every piece of cargo: truckers, railroads, port warehouses, steamship companies, customs, insurers, and freight forwarders. The distance wasn’t the expensive part. Every port, crane, warehouse, and customs form assumed a human had to handle every crate. The shipping container didn’t fix any of those systems. It made them obsolete. Once the unit moving through the infrastructure changed—from individual cargo handled by longshoremen to sealed boxes handled by machines—every layer had to be rebuilt. Ports, cranes, trucks, railcars, insurance, customs, and labor contracts. The container was just a steel box. The rebuild took twenty years. The assumption starting to break now is the same kind: the user is a person.

Agent-era infrastructure

Add an AI assistant, ship an MCP server, call it done. Most companies are building at the wrong layer.

Less Well Ackchyually. More earnest collaboration.

HTTP 402 has been “reserved for future use” since 1997. Two protocols now claim it. x402 routes every payment through Coinbase. L402 needs nobody's permission. Interactive breakdown:

Payment Required | Sideband Lab

x402 requires Coinbase to verify and settle every payment. L402 requires no one. The protocol your agent uses decides who can shut it off.
